Every US company I’ve (engineer) worked for has been a metric company
I (machinist) have only seen a few large US firms or companies send me a metric print. Different worlds, I guess.
As an engineer who dabbles in machining, that checks out. What really grinds my gears (sometimes literally) is how sometimes people use fractions of an inch and sometimes people use decimals.
That is usually related to tolerances, though. Like 0.1250 is interpreted much differently than 1/8".
